I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Thank you all. I see one on the exchange but they want almost 1.5 billion for it and I only have 25 million so there is no hope.
There absolutely is hope, and you have 2.5 methods to pick from:
1: The FAST but EXPENSIVE way: use RL money to buy zen, use the zen to buy master keys or promo packs, then sell those things on the in game exchange for EC.
2: The SLOW but FREE way: grind dilithium, trade dilithium for zen, then see what I just wrote above about keys/promo packs.
2.5: Mixing the 2 options above. Do some grinding and some spending, which still requires some time but not as much money.
See, since this game is free to play, you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. You don't get things free AND quickly. If you want something quick, open your wallet. If you want it free, then prepare to grind for a while.

Yup. If keys sell for 5M EC and you buy keys at full C-Store price, that 1.5B EC will cost you about $340.
So unless you are dead set on getting a Discoprise, there are plenty of great ships for a lot less.
I believe the Vengeance is still one of the top ships for killing things, if thats your main goal, and its a measly 220M EC last I looked. Even the Kelvin Connie is much cheaper than the Discoprise.
for me the best way to raise capital is just grind dil till they do a release of the infinity box with a discount sale those and buy the ship. you will make more doing it this way then you will selling keys. More ec less resources.
